#twc asks

[kaifanjc-the-one-and-only]

Alright, here's my first ask! *Ahem*

To Heket: Your cool and beautiful. I want to get to know you more! I'll even make macaroni and cheese for you! 😁

in your pow camp is gale not a virgin? maureen said she has got into his pants

Mm yeah, thanks for that Maureen. 🤣

She’s been in his pants for sure, although likely only a hand, maybe her mouth. His mouth has been in her pants 100%. I’d say no penetrative sex has occurred, for sure.

And tbh, neither I or Gale are sure how the hell that began. It’s something I still need to figure out.

It’s just he’s never had it in him to resist this gal, he tried valiantly at the start but it’s not even a case of her being insensitive to his code of ethics, she just hit him outta nowhere. Things that are definite no’s in his life go fuzzy around her. He’s not sure what to make of it and while he’s pondering it she winds up with a hand down his trousers and then his mind goes even fuzzier. This level of compromise has not been happening very long before the camp, but it’s had a significant enough lead up that everyone suspected long before they were guilty of it.

Which puts Gale in a state of turmoil as he’s both fighting his own inclinations towards the first selfish love of his life while also keenly conscious of its risk.

It was be horrific for his reputation and career to be found consorting with a subordinate. Subordinate’s -by nature of their subordination- can’t consent, so every interaction is a classified coercion.

Male with male or male with female, doesn’t matter. That’s the army rules.

It would be cataclysmic for both Maureen’s career but also the whole experiment of integration to be found out, so truly, Gale sympathizes with Ida’s rigidity. Added to this is Maureen’s Bucky Egan Levels of lack of self preservation. So Gale is really, really torn about it.

But also, he’s never been so loved up before in his life and it shakes him all up and dumps his insides out and the longer he goes on into this war, the less he’s sure about anything besides the here and now and the men -or women- right beside him.

9, 39 and 65 for the OC questions ? For who you want 💕

Time to whip out my girl Robin then, heck yeah 😎💕💕💕

9. Do they have any artistic talent?

N o n e. The gods of artistic talent not only skipped over Robin, they full out banned her from getting ANY artistic ability. Does her inability to have the level of creation to that of a robot or 3 year old stop her though? NOT AT ALL. What she lacks in skill she makes up in ridiculous confidence!!!

39. Do they have any tattoos?

She does!!! A laurel wreath on each of her biceps that she got in college at the request of a cute girl she was trying to impress.

She'd be down to get more if anything crossed her fancy enough :D

65. What makes them smile?

Most things do! Jokes, odd circumstances, Morgan, having her reality ripped from her and world turned upside down, dogs, etc. For the most part she's a laid back gal who'll give a smile to most stuff ⭐

Thank you for the ask!!!😎❤❤

could u imagine dating a vampire as someone who’s pee shy? i would have to end it

pee shy? i hope i’m not misunderstanding the question here skdjskkd

i have, as all overthinking twc stans, had a few sleepless night over the thought of everything the vampires can hear, and i’ve come to the conclusion that the detective just doesn’t use the restroom (have we ever seen it? no.)

i wouldn’t have decided not to date someone because they’ve got superhearing, because what are they gonna do? judge me?? and i doubt hearing that stuff is something they’re gonna want to think about much. i’m sure they can manage to block it out anyway due to their senses dampening around the detective and all.

anyways, thank you for the ask, what a nice way to start the morning that was 🤩

Hello! Could you answer 2, 9 and 10 for N? Thank you!

Hey there! thanks for the asks! 

2. We have been told a little about N’s overprotectiveness. What are your detective’s feelings on it?

With everything that happened to them across both books, She is understanding about Nat’s over protectiveness. However, Shivani’s main insecurity is the feeling weak and doesn’t want to be seen as a burden alongside the team (esp after the murphy incident ). The fact that she has low combat skill doesn’t really help either... I feel like she’ll try to push herself hard to be capable on her own and that may conflict with Nat’s protectiveness. 

9. How does your detective feel about N being more “human” then the others? Do they think they are holding on to something?

She does notice little moments but it’s not something she dwells on. However, she hopes that Nat understands that she can talk to her about any troubles that lies in her head. 

10. If on the Bobby route, did your detective and Bobby kiss? Unwanted or Wanted? How is your detective dealing with this? And how do you think N will react once they find out?

It’s a memory that Shivani very much regrets. She was very tired and the conversation between Nat & Ava still remained in their head, so it was hard to think straight (lol). Due to her timid and kind nature, it was hard for her to say no and allowed her in. Unfortunately, Bobby did kiss her - but it was unwanted. The moment Bobby stepped in the apartment, Shivani felt that something was wrong.

Afterwards, she felt incredibly guilty with the whole situation and esp since the other’s know that Bobby is her ex. Even through it was a moment she rather forget, Shivani does want to Nat herself what happened before Bobby could find a way to manipulate the situation and use that moment of weakness to her advantage. 

With Nat’s reaction, I feel that she would be slightly hurt (something Shivani fears) but I think Nat could be understanding after finding out that it was unwanted and something that Shivani regrets - and never want to happen again.

I keep seeing the same anon being like: "M's a mindless sex-machine!" Like, do they not have something beter to do??? Leave people alone with your wrong opinion. I haven't played TWC, but i am 1 000% sure that M isn't a "sex-machine" and anon just likes being dumb.

I know, right? Idk why that anon wasted so much time sending asks to different people with that same message just to spread hate for a character??????? A character that doesn't even deserve that hate??? Like wtf anon. The hate on M is getting more and more ridiculous as time goes by. Like being a sexual person automatically makes that your whole personality 🙄

Anw! If you ever get the time or if you become interested, I suggest you play TWC! You won't regret it ❣️ Thanks for sending this ask! 💖

4, 14, 21, 25, and 52 from the Wayhaven Asks?

4. What was your first detective like?

The first of my four was Sonia, and I played her as rather level-headed but also apprehensive about what she learned from the Agency. her highest traits come Book 2 are: charming (59%), genuine (63%), friendly (73%), and easygoing (60%). Her impulsive v. cautious stat is exactly 50-50 😅 may i offer my apologies to UB

14. Funniest moment in game?

Oh, I just texted one of my best friends about this the other day! While I’d say TWC has it share of funny moments, the one that really takes the cake so to speak has to be when you meet Unit Alpha for the first time. I laughed so hard I dropped my phone when the twins busted in, not to mention Adam’s general reception of them which was absolutely hilarious.

21. Which carnival activities did you and the LI do?

So I can only truthfully answer this for Sonia & Nate as thus far, she’s the only one I’ve played through book two with. That being said, they made a point to go to the carousel and had a grand time!

25. Is there a moment of choice you made in the game that you regret?

Truthfully? In Sonia’s playthrough (which is almost finished, i think) I encouraged Tina to look deeper into the weird goings-on in Wayhaven and I have to say I’m a little worried for how that going to turn out. 

52. Describe your detective’s relationship with their LI in one word.

Lillian/Adam = rocky, Sonia/Nate = fairytale, Peyton/Felix = easygoing, Aurora/Mason = overwhelming.

What do you have in store for Ida and Rosie’s story? Because they are the only pairing who aren’t at the POW camp.

Aha!! This is gonna be a long answer, hence why I let your ask molder away as I worked on a reply, thanks for your patience.

I can’t wait to weave this whole thing, and it’s honestly the only postwar story I’m at all sure about in this universe so far. Let’s just say it’s a hella slow burn. Even after getting married. Because they do marry. Rather soon. But they are a bit of a buddy cop duo. Romantic love -at least for Ida- comes later.

I think it’s safe to assume that dear Ida was present when Rosie first introduced himself to the Bucks, told his underwear story and generally made a magnificent entry. Now, one must consider two things with this:

1. Rosie’s regret over what the hell he was thinking telling that story would be compounded by telling it in front of a female officer

2. Ida might have always been a stiff spined stickler before her trauma and the Stalag, but she did have a sense of humor. I like to think she found him funny, plus, with the Bucks beginning to fray a little in their own morale, flagging in offering encouragement to the newbies, I think Ida would be the sort to fill that role, best she can. Surprisingly, Rosenthal, Nash, Pappy, they’re not the sorta men to resent a woman giving them a pep m-up chat.

Now, keep in mind it’s three missions later and she’s been downed so there was not really a connection made there. Although I love to think that some night in the Stalag when everyone is bored and playing ask games with each other, one of the questions is:

“Who was the last person ya danced with?”

And Bucky gets to tell about Paulina and Gale gets chafed about choosing Meatball over Maureen and Brady bemoans having been so stuck on the bandstand playing sax instead of taking his chances and then when it’s Ida’s turn she’s just: “it was one of the new ones, the ‘egg frying on the instrument panel,’ guy.”

This is met with a chorus of “Rosenthal???”

“Told me to call him Rosie.” Ida shrugs. “He had some fun moves.”

Anyways. That’s a far off thing by April of ‘45.

SPOILERS ABOUT ESCAPE:

….

when Ida get away with Gale and makes it back first of anyone to England? Best believe she is beyond distracted with worry for her girls. Who’s there to meet her and welcome her and Cleven to Thorpe? Crosby of course -and Rosie. Malnourished, ptsd riddled and burdened with responsibility for her girls, Ida isn’t exactly the sparkly female Colonel that Rosenthal remembers meeting and dancing with.

In fact, that first initial interaction goes a bit sourly. She needs a nap, he awkwardly needs a deposition on her treatment. It’s a little rough, ok?

But the longer she is back at Thorpe, reunited with her few girls still there who were never downed, she learns how well their new Lt. Colonel -Rosenthal- has looked after them, fought to resend the grounding orders after Ida went down, generally been a good bean.

Also, due to being her superior now and having been given the legal burden of collecting information and evidence on the girls treatment by the Germans, Rosenthal and Ida start spending time, a lotta time, together.

There’s Jeep chauffeuring, Coffee Breaks and Mercy Runs where he goads her into buzzing the tower for the first time in her life -“of course I haven’t done it before, Rosenthal. One of you cats do it and it’s cute, I do it and I’m fired. No, I don’t mean discharged, I mean plainly fired.”

And then there’s the depositions, eventually full of her having to dictate shit that she’s never vocalized since it happened to her. Somehow, Rosie makes the whole thing easier than she ever expected. Not to say it’s easy. Although if you asked his female secretary, she’d say the one more visibly affected by it was the male lawyer, not the half catatonic victim spewing a rote litany of horror.

One time, his grip on his pencil gets so tight that it snaps. Ida replaces it. His quiet rage for her is about the best closure she’s felt so far. And that thread of such shared knowledge between them and them alone, even if it was in professional context? -That’s Intimacy. Far more than kisses or rings.

A righteous vengeance duo? Yes please, they’re a force to be reckoned with as the war winds down.

Before long Ida is asking Croz, “Was Rosenthal always that pretty?”

Harry is cackling over it, “Yeah.” He goads her, “But he is more confident now.”

“Confidence.” Ida repeats, trying to convince herself, “Yeah, that would be it.”

The thing of it is, Ida was unsure or marriage before her brutal treatment in captivity. Now? And after her military experience? She’s very sure she could never be a wife. Not even of a smart and secure man like Robert Rosenthal. Men just expect certain things and dynamics from their wives and Ida has never been sure she had that in her. Now she’s positive. And she’s too proud to marry only to then “turn a blind eye” as he finds what she lacks in women elsewhere.

Rosie? His argument is that what they’ve already built these last months, it’s what he wants. Marrying her is to keep that. If that’s all they ever have that’s enough, he couldn’t stand to lose it.

A chaste honeymoon on the way to Nuremberg to go fuck up a bunch of Nazis for the second time in their young lives? You betcha.
